I spent a lot of money this weekend. For me. I've been feeling in a fix-me-up mood. I'm losing weight, and that's making me want to do a total overhaul. I feel really good, but also somewhat guilty.
I bought some new clothes. Two pairs of jeans and some really nice tops. Now, I bought them at Goodwill, so you might rightly say that's not much of an indulgence, but they were higher-priced "boutique" items. Ann Taylor, Talbot's, Chico's, Eddie Bauer. Good deals, but not the usual Goodwill deal. They are such cute clothes, but I have to remember that my ultimate goal is to shrink out of them, so I won't be wearing them long. I guess it all right to feel good during the transition.
Then I went to Walgreen's just to pick up a few things, I thought, but I ended up buying cosmetics and skin care items and the total bill was over $90!
Not done yet, I went to Kohl's and bought some earrings and a new watchband.
A few weeks ago, I spent $48 on a haircut. Unheard of, for me.
I don't know what's got into me. Yes, I want to feel pampered, but I am facing my second retirement in a few short years. I really need to do serious saving.
The worst part is, now that my ankle is pretty much healed, I am dying to get a pedicure!
It's like another person has taken over!
Oh well, I'm sure I will get back on the program soon.
I've been self-indulgent
